Along this same line of thought - when buying my next boat , I'd like to take it out on the water for a quick sea trial. However, when asking about taking a boat out today the Broker acted kind of indignent, like I was a freeloader, and made the comment "we only do sea trials with a purchase...

Well I finally sold Dakota - my unnamed 19' C-Dory. It was our second C-Dory, and it got us around pretty well. Only put 220 hours on it and sold it for pennies on the dollar, but had to move on to other things. Hope to be back on the water again sometime in the future, probably wont be on a...

Cheers !

Note: the 16 Manual incorrectly states the length of the steering cable - its copied directly from the 22 manual. It states that you should use a 19' cable - I dont remember exactly what the correct length is - but I replaced the cable on my 16 and ended up taking the old one in to make sure I...

Looks familiar .

I live in Shoreline (North Seattle) and dont pay anything near what you are describing. Something is obviously wrong (illegal ? ). Our Sewer bill runs $35. Gas can be as high as $140 - but we use it for hotwater, heat, dryer. Electric is usually around $40. Comcast for TV - around $44...

Its either the cartridge or the o-ring on the cartridge. All Moen single handle faucets take the same cartridge, 1200 or 1225, get the plastic one, not the brass. Sometimes the cartridges tend to "weld" themselves in so it can be tough getting it out (may need a cartridge puller). Of course...

I'm going to have to disagree with Joe's statement above about generally agreed upon reason. From what I heard this Winter at a fishing seminar at the Seattle Boat Show - the reason WD-40 worked on fishing lures is that it "washed" off the human scent from the lure. The solvent came off the lure...

Ok - how critical of a component is a EPIRB here in the PNW? Seems to me that I'm always within sight of other boats around Everett and even in the San Juans. With a handheld VHF, strobe light, flares,.... around here if something did happen how likely is it that the EPIRB would be a decidiing...

I finally made it to the boat show - went at lunch time - walked over from work. Checked out the new C-Dory's of course, salivated over the SeaSports, walked through the Ranger Tugs, stayed away from the Meridan Yachts. I did sit in on Tom Nelson's fishing seminar - really enjoyed it - "How to...

Did my early spring cleaning on Dakota today. It was a beautiful sunny day here in north Seattle / Everett so I went up to Bayside and had the boat put on the rack so I could work on it. One of the disadvantages of having a boat in dry storage rather than in the back yard is that you dont spend...

Hey Dragonman, I'm fairly new to the PNW waters and C-Dory but here is my take on the 19. We started with a 16 - a fixer upper - 1990. Our first sea trial was out on Lake Washington at New Years 2006, went out several times afterwards but felt the 16 was "too small" for the two of us (don't...

Left the dock at Bayside Marine in Everett around 11:00 am. The fog was the thickest I have ever been in. Came out into the river and could not see either side, just a solid wall of fog. Got close to the west bank of the river, opposite side of the Marina and slowly made my way out . Then once...

Ok - the weather looks nice - the projects around the house can wait, I need a break from the news, work, and all the rest of it ... so, since I can never get figure out all the dang rules, regulations, other crap here in the PNW - what's legal to catch this weekend and where is the fishing...

I don't think it matters - Gregoire will win in the recount just like last time. (as long as its a manual re-count).
